Kara’s Bio

I'm a certified nurse aide at a local nursing home near the college I attend. I work at the nursing home on weekends due to some classes during the week and other obligations. I've attended college for 2 years, and I plan on becoming a Registered Nurse after my Nursing program ends. I have cared for children of all ages, and I've been a babysitter for 4-5 years. I would like to incorporate spending time with more children into my career because I love teaching kids new things. I have an older brother, and a nephew who will be 2 years old in January. I also have a dog, Kruze, so I am very comfortable around pets. Last year I traveled around the southwest states for 10 months with a program called AmeriCorps NCCC, in which I worked with various non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity, County Parks, Presbyterian Camps, and various disaster relief projects after the Saint Louis tornado and Joplin tornado. I love being around children, I believe that they bring such joy into a persons' life and without even knowing it the kids are teaching me something while I'm trying to teach them something.
